2H: The Official Second Half Of Life Handbook

by Bill Morton

Bill Morton Second Half of LIfe
Aging… will never be the same. What’s not to like?

There are two ways to look at being 50 or 60 years of age:

  • You’re on a downward slope….and it’s slippery…or
  • You’re at a fresh start for your second half. It’s tip-off time for the half that determines the game.

If you’re an “A” believer, don’t buy this book.

Remember Morrie?

The best selling, longest lasting book on the New York Times list over the past decade was the true telling of a successful journalist visiting Morrie Schwartz, his beloved college professor, over the last year of Morrie’s life. Morrie had ALS, Lou Gehrig’s Disease, a hugely debilitating ending that imprisons its victims in their own bodies. But Morrie had lessons to teach, and Mitch Albom, the author, shared them with the world in Tuesdays with Morrie.

As Morrie observed, our culture is very hard on aging. Morrie’s response: create your own mini-culture.
Thanks to Morrie, thanks to the global Longevity Revolution, thanks to the global Birth Dearth, and thanks to a thousand other “pathfinders” of expanded and enriched second half living, our culture is about to change.

No. Strike that. “Change” is too soft a word.
That rumble you’re hearing and feeling is an Age-quake. Planet-wide. It’s an Avalanche of Aging.
It’s global aging. And it’s a good thing.
